You haven鈥檛 got to do 2 other festivals to do Glastonbury, you鈥檝e got to do 2 other festivals to get priority applications for Glastonbury. Anyone can still go for Glastonbury only, just with a bit less chance of getting it.
Given that there have always been non-priority places, and pretty much everyone who sticks with it gets one, it really doesn鈥檛 mean you have to do 2 other festivals, especially as there will no doubt end up being less people with priority if they use this criteria.
I think this is the route they鈥檝e decided in because they are now getting over subscribed for priority, & in respect of Glastonbury at least, people currently expect to get Glastonbury on 2 festivals a year.
It doesn't even sound like such a bad idea they just need to give people credit for actually volunteering for Glastonbury.
I can only think they want to stop people who are now set in a pattern of only doing Glastonbury each year and having a space guaranteed, but I can't understand why that would be a problem.
I鈥檓 presuming this was an outline proposal and some donut put it live on the website, cos it鈥檚 taken down now; they鈥檒l get a bit of feedback that it鈥檚 a spectacularly dumb idea, and they鈥檒l row back on it a bit.
At least i hope they will, or I鈥檒l be jumping ship and finding an alternative volunteering route! wateraid seems ok, wouldn鈥檛 mind them at all
